![Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAWU 00710] 'Meersburg vineyards.' Most people don't leave Meersburg, one of the top attractions at the Bodensee, for a walk. And that's a pity, because it is surrounded by vineyards. Photo Paul Smit.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/733088_y8rQB-Ti-1.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAWU 00710] 'Meersburg vineyards.'

Rather a German Stone Age lake-dwelling, reconstructed in the Pfahlbau open air museum in Unteruhldingen.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAYER 00681] 'Port of Lindau.' Let's be honest: calling Lindau the 'Venice of Bavaria' is overstated, allthough indeed it's situated on an island. The other slogan fits better: 'the happy end of Germany'. Waterside terraces overlook the port.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAWU 00711] 'Meersburg lakeside.' Meersburg is the most visited town at the Bodensee, because of its picturesque historical centre. Busy during the day, its evenings have a calmer flair. Then the lakeside promenade is where you want to be.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [SWITZER.MITTEL 00861] 'Steckborn am See 1.' Now and then it seems the 19th century Bodensee idyll still exists. The soft light, pastel colours, a romantic little castle at the shore and a dreaming girl with her cat.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BAYER 00683] 'Pause at Wasserburg.' The popularity of cycling has grown so much, that the Bodensee is now Europe's bike destination no. 1, mostly thanks to the Bodensee-Radwanderweg. It's a signposted roundtrip that mostly avoids busy traffic and walkers as well.
